Christine Hansen is photographer and art historian based in Stavanger. Much of her work is realted to question about landskape and nature. In her latest project, Nedsenket Natur, she explore the life and the landscape below the sea level. Several of Hansen's works have a personal point of departure, where family history is explored from an artistic viewpoint. Questions that interest her are: Where does the collective and private story meet? Can the private be universal?
